Subject: [ptxdist] [PATCH 18/20] opkg: move opkg-database to a read-only location
Date: Wed,  5 Jun 2019 14:54:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190605125421.20087-19-jbe@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190605125421.20087-1-jbe@pengutronix.de>

The directory tree in '/var/lib' might not be persistent and thus,
not in sync with the root filesystem. In this case it's required
to store the opkg database at a location which has a fixed
relation to the root filesystem's content it describes.

This change moves the opkg's database to a read-only location in
'/usr/share/opkg', which is then always in sync with the root
filesystem's content.

This changed opkg configuration works since commit
   a691341deb33077b9d5ede5fe349ee6b3fb99be1
 "ptxd_make_image_extract_xpkg_files: use ptxd_get_alternative to find opkg.conf"

 this use case, because it will bury all build-time generated data already present
